Josep Maria Bartomeu

[DonAK]

Vilarrubi said he'll stand behind Bartomeu in the elections and not be up for it as a candidate himself.

So still a lot of Rosell people with him as of now. That's what doesn't convince me, no matter what he does till the elections and no matter how he sugarcoat his candidacy. Bartomeu was a major part of the system for all these years.

Also according to Catalunya Radio survey, an election today with these (possible) candidates would go something like this

 

[instinct]

Should I be happy about the 51% who'd vote for Laporta or sad about the 27% who'd vote for Bartomeu?

 

[Ini8]

The percentage for Bartomeu will increase if we continue to do this well.

Bartomeu has done well this year and brought a lot more tranquility to the club.

Was there not rumors that Cruyff had told Laporta he shouldnt stand again?

 

[DonAK]

Then again there are other factors to consider as well as his possible involvement in the Neymar tax case and how that will pan out and our kits for the next season going away from tradition.

Indeed there are, although even if he walks, I think those cases will be overshadowed by the team's success.

They may well get found to have done nothing wrong legally in the Neymar case anyway.

Loads of clubs have had tax disputes and been allowed to pay up.

Bayern's president got jail time. It did not damage the club.

He wasn't (possibly) accomplice in getting FC Bayern München indicted in a court of law.

It was a personal case altogether.

 

[linetty]

Doing well or not at the moment, these guys have to go. The damage is done and will not be forgotten

and that is somehow better? This guy is pretty much accused tax evasion for personal gains. At least Barto is getting this headache arguably for the benefit of the club.

Tell that to Laporta, because if he is not running Barto will win.

He is distanced himself from the elections for now .but he was one of the main guys who always spoke about how this board should leave and new elections should be made .I highly doubt he isn't running but the guy is doing the right thing not to put the club in elections fiasco while they are putting up a good fight to win titles

It isn't better for him as a person but is way better for the club itself .A guy done wrong running his own business ?no one cares .
A club charged of tax fraud? it is the club doing that and no one will care about the person doing it .it stains the club reputation

I heard he will confirm he's running only when Rosell officially calls the elections.
